Nacho Libre (2006) |
"Basically, if you're not already chuckling at the thought of Jack Black wearing a Mexican wrestler's outfit and speaking in a thick Spanish accent then Nacho Libre probably isn't the film for you." |

The Nanny Diaries (2007) |
"Berman and Pulcini's comedy drama isn't as funny or as clever as it thinks it is, but it remains watchable thanks to strong performances from Laura Linney and Scarlett Johansson." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 3/5 |
Nanny McPhee (2006) |
"Unfortunately, Colin Firth seems as though he's on auto-pilot and the relationship between his character and Evangeline is unconvincing, if not borderline inappropriate." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 3/5 |
Napoleon Dynamite (2004) |
"An offbeat, frequently funny comedy that gradually wins you over, much like its central character." |

The Nativity Story (2006) |
"Catherine Hardwicke (Lords of Dogtown, Thirteen) may seem like an unusual choice for a Biblical epic, but she proves an inspired choice, choosing to focus on the authenticity of the story, primarily through Mary." |
Matthew Turner |

Nativity! |
"The biggest problem is the script, which is poorly constructed and unconvincing on every level. It also takes frequent lurches into ridiculousness." |

Never Back Down (2008) |
"Enjoyably trashy teen flick that plays like a dumbed-down version of Fight Club, enlivened by an engaging lead performance by star-in-the-making Sean Faris." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 3/5 |
New in Town (2009) |
"Utterly predictable comedy-drama that stays watchable thanks to a likeable cast and some decent dialogue, even if the Zellweger / Connick Jr pairing doesn't exactly set the screen alight." |

The New World (2005) |
"The main problem is that the film is just too inaccessible to the casual viewer... It's also marred by a pretentious voiceover and far too much tree-stroking in general." |

The Night Listener (2006) |
"However, the film brushes over certain elements of the book (most notably Gabriel's relationship with his partner) and shies away from its more important themes (AIDS, child abuse etc), leaving the equivalent of a sanitised TV version of the book." |
Matthew Turner |

The Night We Called It a Day (2003) |
"This is a quirky Australian comedy-drama with likeable performances, a witty script and an impressive commitment to tacky 1970s set design." |
Matthew Turner |

Nights in Rodanthe (2008) |
"Lane and Gear ensure that Nights in Rodanthe is never less than watchable, but it's scuppered by an overly sentimental script and fails to deliver the required emotional punch." |
